PHILADELPHIA, March 10-Fcrther in nvestiga-
ton into the case of the little girl, Annie
Niblick, whose lifeless body was found by her
father last evening hanging from the transom of
q door at her home, leads to the suspicion that
the girls death was neither the result Of acci-

from his work and found his daughter hanging
in the house, his two other children. a boy aged
five years and an infant, were crouched in a
corner of the room, badly frightened. Upon
questioning the boy, he told his father that Mrs
McClsland and Florn. her daughter, had been
there, and that Mrs. McCleand had tied Annie
to tho door transom. Mrs. McClelland is a

TRICKY OFFICE-sEEKERs.

Methods by Which Civil-Service Applicants
Sometimes Secure Positions.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, March 10-Some very shrewd
tricks to crcumvent the operations of the civil
service laws in relation to selection of appointees
especially in reference to apportionment of ap-
pointments in the various States and Territories
are reported. The Civil-service Commissioners
say they have recently experienced great deal
of trouble from Justification of the residence OF
applicants. After passing examination, appli-
cants go to work to ascertain where vacancies
exist, and when one is found, is anticipated,
they change their residence and swear they live
in the State or Territory which is to have the
vacancy Frequently compacts are entered into
between an applicant and employe who
thinks of retiring and the residence is set up in
the application to be in the same State AS that
OF the employe who contemplates leaving the
service. Frequently an appointee, after getting
into the service by this Justification of the record
of the Civil-service Commission as to residence,
gives his true residence. when it comes to regis
tering at the department for making out his pay
roll. There appears tc be no law to punish this
trick and it Is making great trouble.

One of his objections to the bill is that soldiers

Lansdowne Indignant.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 10.-Lord Lansdowne
is highly indignant at a cablegram from Eng
land, to the effect that he is pursuing his Irish
tenants. He stated that the local board which
proposed the scheme for the erection of num-
ber of cottages upon his estate, at the expense
of rate-payers, is entirely in the hands of the
Nationalists. He resisted the scheme because
the tenants insisted on erecting their buildings
in the neighborhood of his own castle, and. also,
because they were unnecessary. Already the
charge of harsh treatment toward his tenants
had a tendency to lower his popularity among
the Irish people in Canada. which makes him all
the more anxious to give immediate denial to
all such statements the moment they appear.

General Butler Testifies Concerning the In
Justice Practiced in the Island.
LONDON, March 10.-A sensation has been
caused by the publication OF Gen. Sir Redvers
Buffers evidence before the Land Commission.
1t appears that General Butler testified that
what law .hers was in the counties Kerry, Clare
and Cork was on the side Of the rich, and he
expressed the opinion that it would be serious
matter, with their grievances unredressed, to
attempt to suppress by force the tenants
lection of their interests. majority
of tenants, he said, struggled to pay
their rents, and where they could, did pay; but
in a great many cases the rents were too high.
and such as the tenants could not pay. He said
there never would be peace in Ireland until there
had been established court having strong CO.
ercve powers over bad landlords and protective
powers over poor tenants.
The Pail Mall Gazette declares that the facts
attested by General Butler come like fash Of
vivid lightning, revealing the naked horrors
of organized injustice in Ireland. It
says: mo crime which the moonlighters
or dynamiters can commit will be comparable to
the criminality of giving another days grace to
| the foul fabric of legalized wrong erected on
Irish sofia fabric which the Tories now seek to
buttress by further misdeeds."

himself will lead The opposition to the coercion

the festivities of the carnival He told how the
streets were filled with carriages and pedestri-
ans, reltng one another with flowers. All wore
masks and costumes The most beautiful ladies
threw costly flowers into the faces of persons
they had never seen. An ordinary Chicago
clerk travelling for his health could pelt the face
of duchess with roses, and her husband would
only smile. For days the city was given over to
gayety Confetti-a sort of candy-followed the
flowers in showers. 1t was romantic riot day
and night until the last of the carnival. Then
came the balls. Seventy thousand people danced
wildly all that night far into the penitential
